Ras Al Khaimah real estate and business: what Wynn Al Marjan means for investors
The UAE's first integrated resort is scheduled to open on Al Marjan Island in 2027. What it means for property buyers and businesses in RAK.
Ras Al Khaimah has moved from a quiet weekend escape to one of the most talked-about property markets in the UAE. The main reason is Wynn Al Marjan Island, an integrated resort that Wynn Resorts says is on schedule to open in 2027.
Why it matters
- A large hotel and entertainment resort brings visitors, jobs and new demand for homes and services

- Businesses serving tourism, hospitality and residents have a growing local market
Before you buy
- Check that the area is open to foreign freehold ownership
